Local Driving Tips
Start lessons on quieter estate roads off the Tamworth ring road before moving onto the town centre. Practise right and left turns at roundabouts on the A5 and at the junction with the M42 junction 10, traffic is brisk there. Work on multi-lane selection for dual-carriageway joins and lane discipline when heading towards the M42. Spend time on town parking, drop-off bays and narrow high-street sections around the town centre. Try a lesson that finishes in Boston so you can become familiar with the actual test routes and signage.
